Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept our humble obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet on behalf of the Armenian
yātrā. All glories to you, our dearest friend and savior, the empowered representative of Śrīla
Vyāsadeva and Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda, you have left us the greatest legacy – unique and perfect for all times
and places! We do not need to invent anything; you have given us everything. Simply by follow-
ing in your footsteps, your example, and especially your instructions, we see the results: people
are becoming attracted to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. What you have given us is perfect! You have pre-
sented this priceless knowledge in a wonderfully accessible way, giving us the culture, etiquette,
standards, and the correct understanding and application of them. Because life is long, in order to
dedicate it to Kṛṣṇa, you have given us everything we need.
Even when we fall or stumble, it is by your mercy that we know we must simply get up and
continue.
Our region, like others, is no exception. Here, people are deeply attached to material con-
ditioning, bodily identification, family, nationality, tradition, and culture … sometimes it even
seems more pronounced here. But like everywhere, sincere souls, when touched by your mercy
and compassion in the form of your books and your devotees, begin to realize their true position,
either instantly or gradually. Their lives and hearts change before our very eyes. This process is
truly wonderful and beautiful!
The legendary love feasts, the kīrtanas, and the best books about Kṛṣṇa in every sense – these
are our weapons and our priceless treasures. All that is required of us is a little sincerity and a
desire to assist you in your mission to save everyone! By your mercy, even in our small yātrā, there
are already so many of your fearless and selfless pure devotees, striving to fully dedicate their lives
to Lord Caitanya’s mission.
Sometimes there are difficulties and disagreements, but you said that if everyone’s goal is to
satisfy Kṛṣṇa, all differences will be resolved. We pray for your blessings to always follow this goal
in all situations!
Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda, please allow us to be instruments in your hands! Please bless us to
develop even a drop of your compassion – true compassion! Please bless us so that difficulties do
not stop us but instead strengthen us. Kindly allow us, with full determination, to simply assist
you.
With endless gratitude to you, your eternal servants,
the devotees of the Armenian yātrā
